Over the last two and half months we have stockpiled a lot of recycling on the roof of Pop Wuj. We collect plastic, glass, aluminum, tin, and paper in Xela and primarily plastic in Llanos del Pinal at the Family Support Center.
With the help of some fantastic volunteers including Yoli,
Edmundo, Hugo, Adam, and Wilder, we were able to recycle all of the
materials last week.

First we worked on the Pop Wuj roof, organizing and
preparing the plastic and glass. Then we carried the aluminum and tin to Don Tito, near Mercado Las Flores. We sold 13 lbs of
aluminum and 10 lbs of other metal for a total of Q42, or about $6 USD.

In the afternoon, during a brief break from the rain, we took the
plastic and glass to Recip. We recycled 238 lbs of plastic and 96 lbs
of glass for a total of Q105 or about $14.

Thank you to the wonderful volunteers--without you we wouldn't be able to continue the recycling project at Pop Wuj!
